Ike is da Man

My roots come from family.       My mom was a die hard basser.

Made dozens of trips to Mexico in the 70's.        

If there was a bait monkey back then, he had my mama by the throat.

My mother and father are the two most important people in my life when it comes to the passion for being outdoors.

One of my favorite pros, whom I have never met would be Clay Dyer.

     

i know this is off topic...but if you guys have not read ikes book...get it and read it...its a really good read..he shares some of the stuff/dirt that happens on the pro tour you woudnt expect...it lets you know these guys are just like us...they just get to fish for a living...great book!!

Guido Hibdon and KVD.

Jimmy Houston

Kevin VanDam for sure. He just fishes so fast. It's mesmerizing.

1. KVD-met him a few times, great guy. I have to pull for a fellow Michigander.

2. Al Lindner-his enthusiasm is contagious, seems like a great guy.

3. Rick Clunn- my favorite of the old school legends

4. Alton Jones- enjoyed watchting him on classic patterns, very anylitical

Gotta go with The Space Monkey or Mike Iconelli for those that don't know his alter personality, lol ! After all he's my piason! The only Italian on the circut and he's a pretty good fishemam to boot.

My dad, if it wasn't for him I may have never discovered this great sport.

Mike Iaconelli.

1. KVD

2. Iaconelli

3. Al Lindner

Kevin VanDam for sure.  He just fishes so fast.  It's mesmerizing.  

yeah

KVD, in my opinion is the best of all time.  I also find myself pulling for Bill Lowen.  He comes off as a very down to earth guy, and is a terrific river fisherman.  I've seen him interviewed on a couple shows telling how he got started in the big league, almost brought me to tears.
